UAE to convert half of government to AI in 2 years

The United Arab Emirates has announced a major initiative to convert half of its government sectors, services, and operations to agentic AI within two years. This move would make the UAE the first government globally to operate at such a scale through autonomous systems. The plan also reportedly involves a significant shift in the role of federal employees, though specific details on their future functions were not fully detailed in the announcement. The initiative represents a bold step in public sector digital transformation and could set a precedent for other nations.
